So much fun here!-----Shock and Awe

Trump has adapted and applied the concept to his transition planning and rollout. - David Strom
  • In 1990, when it became clear that the United States planned to push Iraq out of Kuwait, Saddam Hussein's battle strategy was straight out of the World War I playbook.
  • Using a modern playbook, the US destroyed the Iraqi army and defeated it en masse with just 5 weeks of air bombardment and 100 hours of battle on the ground.
  • The strategy was dubbed "Shock and Awe;" it was magnificent.
Trump has adapted and applied the concept to his transition planning and rollout...
The appointment has caused absolute outrage, captured perfectly in a POLITICO article:

  • If the lobbyists are angry, that is a great start...

  • Trump's appointments have been awesome in the original sense of the term...
